Understanding Wrongful Termination in Florida
Florida is an “at-will” employment state, which generally means that employers can terminate workers for almost any reason—or no reason at all. However, that right is not absolute. Federal and state laws prohibit employers from firing employees for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons. When those laws are violated, you may have a valid wrongful termination claim.
Common Examples of Wrongful Termination
At The Scott Law Team, our West Palm Beach wrongful termination lawyers handle a wide range of unlawful firing cases, including:
- Retaliation: Being fired for reporting workplace harassment, discrimination, or safety violations.
- Discrimination: Termination based on race, gender, age, national origin, disability, religion, pregnancy, or sexual orientation.
- Whistleblower Protections: Being let go for exposing illegal or unethical activity.
- Violation of Employment Contracts: Breach of an existing employment agreement, including severance terms.
- FMLA Violations: Being terminated for taking protected medical or family leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
How Our West Palm Beach Wrongful Termination Attorneys Can Help
Proving wrongful termination can be challenging. Employers often try to mask unlawful motives behind claims of poor performance or restructuring. At The Scott Law Team, we dig deep to uncover the truth. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate your case, gather relevant documentation, interview witnesses, and build a strong legal argument on your behalf. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, we will fight to recover the compensation and justice you deserve.
Your Rights as an Employee
Even in an at-will state like Florida, employees have rights. You have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. If you believe your employer violated those rights, taking action not only benefits you—it also helps protect other workers from similar mistreatment. Our West Palm Beach wrongful termination lawyers are here to empower you with knowledge and advocacy.
